Dedicated to journaling our work mission trip to Costa Rica sponsored by the Iowa Conference Volunteers in Mission of the United Methodist Church. A place for us to share our excitement, prayers, anticipation, and anything else God puts on our hearts.
Continue praying for the team, for the people with whom we will work, play and worship with in Costa Rica, safe travels and for those we leave at home. God goes before us and will walk with us!

Work Teams Thursday.

House Project - Remainder of the house is torn down. Spent most of the day breaking out a 14 inch thick retaining wall with a sledge hammer. Broke the steel handle in the sledge which gives you an idea of how strong the concrete was. Pouring concrete tomorrow hopefully.

Church Building Project - Finished leveling the concrete floor with new concrete. All mixed by hand and brought to the second story in buckets (8000 lbs. worth) Tomorrow working on making new steel beams and laying tile in the balcony of the church. Cabinets are being built for the new kitchen.

Meals Great! Fried chicken today!
